Standard City, IL
Standard City, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Standard City sits at the 7th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 128 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Standard City at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Standard City's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Standard City's buildings (69.5% of 128) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Standard City against the rest of the country
Within Illinois, Standard City ranks higher (35th percentile) than it does nationally (7th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Standard City ranks 29,302 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,792 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 942 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Standard City
Standard City's low rating (7th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Standard City's 69.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Standard City's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Standard City, see the exposure-zones guide.
